The race favourite and the selection picked out by the editorial verdict — and for good reason, having been beaten just a neck in a 14-runner race at Doncaster just days ago, which is the sharpest piece of recent form in this field. The worry is that he has never won on dry ground in 12 attempts, and his one career win came on soft, much wetter ground. A live contender, but the conditions may not be ideal.

TrackLab Insight
She is one of only a handful of course winners in the field, and her recent form is quietly eye-catching — back-to-back third-place finishes beaten just a neck each time, including at Doncaster six days ago alongside the favourite Beerwah. The snag is that her career win came on faster ground and she has zero wins from 11 races on good ground — today's conditions are the same territory where she has repeatedly fallen short.

TrackLab Insight
Comes in rated 4lbs above the field average, which makes her one of the better-credentialled horses on paper, but her odds drifting from very short to 6.5 suggests confidence has ebbed. She has never won at Redcar in six attempts here, and her best form has come at longer distances than today's sharp five furlongs. Hard to fully trust despite the rating.

"She wants bottomless ground but hasn't really had it since her first run last year at Catterick, where she was third. She's going really well at home and I'm just keeping her ticking over. She was entered at Thirsk last Saturday but the ground wasn't right for her. 21-05-25"

TrackLab Insight
The standout course record in this field — two wins from five races at Redcar — gives her a genuine edge that most rivals cannot match. The concern is a 161-day absence since her last run, and on dry ground today she has zero wins from four attempts in similar conditions. Course form is tempting, but fitness after a long break is a real unknown.

"What she lacks in ability, she makes up for in heart. She's very honest and genuine. She always does her best and she's done fantastically, winning three last year and a couple this time. She needs a flat 6f - she gets outpaced over 5f and runs out of track. 14-08-25"

His standout is the best record at this five-furlong trip in the field — two wins from eight races at this distance — but he has not raced for over four months and his last two runs produced heavy defeats. On dry ground he has zero wins from six attempts, which is a serious concern given today's conditions. Hard to fancy at 21s.

TrackLab Insight
The best career win rate in the field at roughly 1 in every 7 races, and crucially two of those wins have come here at Redcar — making him one of only a handful of proven course winners in the race. His recent form is poor with three heavy defeats at Newcastle, but the combination of course experience and the best record on today's dry ground makes him worth a second look at 10s.

Just one win from 17 races, and his last six runs have produced four finishes deep in the pack. He is returning from a four-month absence and holds the lowest win rate among the main market contenders. The draw in stall one is a small positive at this course, but there is little else in the data to inspire confidence.

His last run produced a 17th-place finish at Thirsk, beaten over 15 lengths, and the run before that was a distant 12th. Despite two career wins, the recent form gives very little to work with, and at 31s the market has reached the same conclusion. Difficult to make a case for him here.

Five career wins from 48 races sounds respectable, but zero wins from four attempts on dry ground like today is a red flag that is difficult to overlook. She is also returning from a four-month break, and jockey Amie Waugh rides her for the very first time — no existing partnership to lean on. The data points stack up against her today.

At nine years old, Soul Seeker is the most experienced horse in the field by some distance — 54 races and still running — but he is also the lowest-rated, sitting 8lbs below the field average. His last two runs produced 11th and 13th-place finishes, and his trainer-jockey combination here has yet to win together in six attempts. The weight advantage is real but unlikely to be enough.

How do odds work?The first number is what you win, the second is what you bet. So 5/2 means you win £5 for every £2. 4/1 means you win £4 for every £1. The bigger the first number, the less likely bookmakers think the horse will win — but the more you'd win if it does.
